Total War Shogun 2: Dive into Medieval Asia and Rule Japan!

Total War Shogun 2, like any proper Total War, mixes turn-based strategy phases and real-time battles. Like Total War: Three Kingdoms, this installment plunges us into a period rarely covered by the series: medieval Asia. In Total War Shogun 2, it is feudal Japan and its famous samurai that take center stage.
You will embody a daimyo (Japanese warlord) in his quest for supreme power: the title of shogun in the old imperial capital of Kyoto.
Total War Shogun 2 introduces a small graphical revolution in the Total War universe: the 3D campaign map! It may be a bit gimmicky for some, but this change brings welcome immersion to the campaign phases. Indeed, in my opinion these phases could sometimes feel a bit “flat” in older installments.

Two DLCs were released for the game, each covering a pivotal period of the shogunate.

Rise of the Samurai was released on September 27, 2011. It focuses on the 1180-1185 period, which saw a great conflict in Japan that elevated the samurai to the status of ruling class.

Fall of the Samurai was released on March 23, 2012. As its name suggests, it covers the period popularized in the West by the film The Last Samurai. You will be able to play the samurai who fought foreign influence, notably British, American and French.

Multiplayer rounds out the package with head-to-head campaigns and quick battles, where two daimyos can clash over Japan for dozens of hours. The AI opponents field varied armies, so every campaign feels different from the last.
